blood on the floor (5 months old female)

Lairian

Hi, we have two young kittens. one is a fixed 8 months old male, and the other is a 5 months old female (not sterilized yet).
Today I've noticed a small drop of blood on the floor.
Any idea what it can be?

How can I know? (I don't think it came from her stool)
They both act very normal and playful.
Though I should note that they both had URI two weeks ago and just got off the antibitotics, but now they seem great (hardly any sneezing).

I'm really scared, she just did it again but this time she was with us. The blood is coming from her rectal.
She was just out of litter (apparently had a diarrhea), and came to sit with us, then the blood came out (again, from her rectal).
We called emergency vet, but they told us that as long as she lethargic (and she is not, she is very playful), it should wait till morning.
Anyone know what can cause this? maybe antibiotics (she still takes them) or new wet food?

Yes there can be a mucous/bloody discharge. Don’t freak/panic. Here is some info that might help. My Cat Has Bloody Mucous It can usually be an easy fix. When you go to your vet be sure to bring a poop sample for them to test. But in many cases it might just mean a food change. Food changes can take a couple of weeks for the body to get used to, so don’t expect immediate results. Will be looking for updates. [USER=16399]@GalHadad

Thanks. She really seems fine, just woke up, came for some pets, ate her dry food and drank water. Noting seems to be wrong.
Maybe it’s because I introduce her to new grain free wet foods (instinct) cold turkey?
Will take her to the vet of course

Hi guys, quick update: yesterday all day Carolyn was fine, very playful, eating, drinking etc... and no blood.
But this morning, we saw some blood on her stool it's red bright blood.
Our vet will open tomorrow (had personal issues so she didn't work yesterday and today). we will take her.
